Overview of Boiler Water Treatment Products
Chardon Labs is committed to providing quality water treatments for your commercial or industrial boiler. When you work with us, we’ll conduct a thorough inspection to identify your boiler’s condition and address any potential issues with your system, such as scale or corrosion.
Our professionals will offer an overview of our tailored treatment plan and strategized maintenance for your boiler system. We’ll provide documentation to keep for your records and discuss which chemicals will benefit your operations the most.
Corrosion Inhibitors
Our technicians use corrosion inhibitors to significantly reduce a metal’s corrosion rate. The boiler chemical treatments can form a thin, protective layer to prevent direct contact with corrosive agents. They can also alter the electrochemical properties of the metal or the environment to make corrosion less likely.
Oxidizing Biocides
We can use oxidizing biocides to kill a broad range of microorganisms, including bacteria, algae and fungi. Our team ensures the biocide selected is compatible with your boiler system’s materials and operating condition.
The boiler water treatment chemicals oxidize the cell structures and walls of microorganisms, disrupting their ability to function. Eliminating microbial activity helps prevent fouling and corrosion, reduce costly repairs and extend your system’s life span.
Non-Oxidating Biocides
Some bacteria, algae and fungi aren’t susceptible to oxidizing biocides. If this is the case in your unique situation, we can use non-oxidizing biocides to kill the bacteria and other microorganisms present in your boiler system.
Compared to oxidizing biocides, non-oxidizing biocides are generally less reactive and corrosive — the chemicals operate by disrupting cellular processes, stopping respiration or lysing cell walls. These chemicals tend to offer compatibility with other boiler additives and treatments, making them an excellent addition to your system’s maintenance plan.
Antifoaming Chemicals
Foam can cause a carryover of water into steam, creating contamination and issues with steam quality. Additionally, foam can reduce your boiler’s efficiency and potentially damage your equipment.
Our team can add small amounts of antifoaming chemicals, known as defoamers, to prevent the formation of foam in your boiler. The chemicals consist of surfactants, which prevent or disrupt the formation of bubbles in your system. Using antifoaming chemicals as a part of your water treatment plan helps mitigate risks and reduce maintenance costs.
Pretreatment Chemicals
When preparing feed water, we can use chemicals to prevent issues such as foaming, scale buildup and corrosion. Our pretreatment boiler chemicals focus on precleaning to eliminate contaminants and prefilming to create a protective film.
The results offer maximized heat transfer efficiency for less wear and tear on your boiler system’s components.
